LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4020B writes CDs but not DVDs

To update nero, you have to do a clean install. Download Nero Clean Tool:

EDIT for bad link http://www.nero.com/enu/support-nero6-tools-utilities.html Follow the instructions under "More Details and Download". Then install the latest version of Nero 6:

Primary IDE Channel:

Location: Location 0 (0)
[Device usage - Blank]


Secondary IDE Channel:

LOcation: Location 1 (1)
[Device usage: Use this device - Enable]

Is this okay?

Btw:I must admit that I cannot find dma or pio there.

 

have you tried in here Intel(R) 82801DB Ultra ATA Controller ? yours is intel mines amd setup so slighlty different

 

No, it's not okay. Did you go under "DVD/CD-ROM Drives" or under "IDE/ATAPI Controllers" . Got under the latter.

 

You remained under "General" tab. Go under "Advanced Settings"

 

Regarding the enabling of DMA mode in Windows XP:

The Primary and Secondary IDE Channel Properties does not include an Advanced Settings option in my system.

 

can you upload a picture of the Intel(R) 82801DB Ultra ATA Controller opened and the primary and secondary tabs pls.

 

try this:

Go into your Device Manager and right-click Ultra ATA Storage Controllers and choose update drivers. When the Update Wizard appears choose the 2nd option another window will open check Don't Search, I'll choose location box. See if you have a choice of the Intel 802801EB Ultra ATA Controller.


choose "Standard Dual IDE Controller."

 

Could I possibly e-mail it directly to you (as I am not too sure how to use the Imageshack service)?

[My e-mail address is:

I have right clicked on the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers (which seems to be my equivalent of the Ultra ATA Storage Controllers) but there is only a general description provided. I can right click and update the Intel(R) 82801DB Ultra ATA Controller and I am indeed offered the update driver option as well as properties and a couple of other options. On performing the update, I am informed that there is no update available.

 

choose the 2nd option another window will open check Don't Search, I'll choose location box. See if you have a choice of the Intel 802801EB Ultra ATA Controller.

dont search means dont update!


choose "Standard Dual IDE Controller."

ok i read as your system is now you wont see DMA, but if you do the below and switch to standard dual ide controller, you will see DMA.

Go into your Device Manager and right-click Ultra ATA Storage Controllers and choose update drivers. When the Update Wizard appears choose the 2nd option another window will open check Don't Search, choose location box. See if you have a choice of the Intel 802801EB Ultra ATA Controller or "Standard Dual IDE Controller."

follow this carefully each step and choose standard dual ide controller, which will switch it from ultra ata controller

 

ok, i got your email i am going to send you a pm with my msn addy, or go to link in my signature and we can talk there!

but the main thing now you got dma on are these discs used Disc Manufacturer: OPTODI - SCW004 to put it bluntly they suck me thinks... need some verbatims or TY or Ritek dvdr's.

also have you the latest log from nero error, with DMA enabled?

Maybe it is just the DVD disc. I must admit that I have now spent a small fortune on blank DVD discs - initially buying a couple of DVD+ format ones (that do not apparently work with this particular model of DVD Burner) and a few of these DVD- format discs. Perhaps (when I go to the shops again - which will probably only be in a few day's time - I should check to see whether I can purchase a single Verbatim DVD- disc. (We do not have the widest selection of discs available here).

 

http://www.cdrlabs.com/reviews/index.php?reviewid=178&page=Features

+ doesnt work. the drive is getting old now...

 

also try doing a closed finalixed disc it may work?

you have this:

Finalize CD : FALSE
Multisession : TRUE
Multisession type: : Start multisession

do this:

Finalize CD : TRUE
Multisession : FALSE
Multisession type: : FALSE

 

Sorry - no luck.

 

to be honest you may struggle getting discs that state they work at 2x these days, and -RW will do it but there a different ball game and have lots of problems themselves....

you may find you may need to get a new drive...?
